On the surface, my latest for New Worlder was about my February trip to Guatemala with Ilegal Mezcal, but really it’s about a lot more. Sustainability–social, economic, environmental–is a growing problem in mezcal. As are twee narratives that only end up contributing to colonialism 2.0. Anyway, inside are excerpts from a long, boozy week in Antigua and a long, boozy interview with Ilegal’s head honcho/man of mystery.
